Amara said:It's a good idea but shit, to be honest, most of you dont really know the extent of modding anyway, let alone administration, unless you see someone say, I'm closing this, or post deleted by "Mod" ... people move threads, they move download links, respond to queries, brainstorm the improvement of the forum, discuss bans/probation, perform those bans and probation, moderate new users and threads everyday (the last ones being responsibility of admins) ... but "true essence" (lmao) of being a mod is to keep the board functioning smoothly and the best way to successfully do that is to do so in virtual invisibility, without causing a stir. In fact the main responsibility of a mod is just to read, not even to act. If you want a pat on the back for everything you like a dog getting a treat, StreetHop has never been the place, lol.
Nevertheless, I have repped mods making good decisions. Yet I do that coz I want to not because I feel they ought to be congratulated somehow or that they are owed it. Fuck what a ramble.
Most of us understand that. However, 90% of modding is done behind the scenes, in your little hidden commission forum and such, so it's not that we don't know the extent of administration, it's just that we aren't allowed in on it.
In other words, I cannot find a downside to it.
